It would shut down after some time.iLO4 reports it as "power removed". The server booted up just fine, and I was able to get our production software installed to help us limp for the night. I connected my SSD to the D元80P via USB using a SATA-USB adapter with an external power supply for the drive. I didn't end up using this, I'm only writing about it because whoever sees this in the future might need to know the media creation tool ISO's don't seem to work with "windows to go". That apparently doesn't work, to get an iso I had to change my user agent on chrome to appear as Safari, otherwise Microsoft tries to force you to use their media creation tool. I also got a regular windows 10 iso BUT NOT through the Microsoft official media creator tool. iso I got from microsoft as an evaluation version. I used RUFUS and set the settings for "windows to go" as well as "partition scheme MBR/BIOS", I used a. So I tried everything, I ended up installing an instance of windows to go on a NAND Samsung SSD I had lying around. I ordered a used P420 PCIE card hoping to just unplug the existing SAS cables from the motherboard and plug them into the PCIE card when it arrives. I tried taking a normal samsung 2.5" SSD and attaching the rails from an old hard drive and put it in the backplane. It's visible to the windows installer though. I tried installing a PCIE M.2 board with an NVME drive on it -> didn't work can't boot from NVME. What can i do to boot windows server 2012 in ANY possible configuration even with data loss? If we could fix it quick, that would be one path but we really just need ANY windows PC in this slot. This machine is playing a role in a manufacturing tool. (all firmware should be up to date)Ĭurrently disabled the device and tried going to the intel embedded sata controller to try and run a samsung sata SSD I just put in there in hopes of getting something. I ran the SPP 8.1 iso from the java based iLO4 remote console and updated everything. I have reseated the cache card already, checked the SAS cables.
